Any idea's??  I'd say Mario Williams, but his salary is 11 millon plus. Only five sacks last year in a system that didn't fit.  He is 31 an played at NC State. He could turn it around here. Don't see D.G paying that kind of jack though. Can't wait for a draft pick to develop. What options in FA do we have?

dolphinsb_logo.gif Olivier Vernon, DE, Dolphins. Age: 25.


Olivier Vernon's stats didn't show it, as he didn't even notch double-digit sacks, but he had a fantastic 2015 campaign, both in terms of rushing the passer and helping out against the run. Just 26 in October, Vernon has a bright future ahead of him. 

giantsb_logo.gif Robert Ayers, DE, Giants. Age: 30.


Robert Ayers is coming off his best season yet, notching nine sacks in just 12 games and being very forceful in run support. He would be a four-star player if it weren't for his age - 31 on Sept. 6 - but he should still have two strong years remaining in the tank. 
 

giantsb_logo.gif Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, Giants. Age: 27.


Jason Pierre-Paul managed just one sack in the eight games he played in 2015. Those who didn't watch him will believe that he was ineffective, but that's not true at all. Pierre-Paul put lots of pressure on opposing passers. His hand issue played a part in his deficiency in run support, but Pierre-Paul will continue to serve as a dynamic pass-rusher. 
 

chiefsb_logo.gif Tamba Hali, DE/OLB, Chiefs. Age: 32.


Tamba Hali is still one of the top edge rushers in the NFL, but he just turned 32. He should still have a strong season or two remaining, but he's going to be slowing down soon. 

 

ramsb_logo.gif William Hayes, DE, Rams. Age: 31.

 
Everyone knows about Robert Quinn, Aaron Donald and Chris Long, but William Hayes has been a solid player on St. Louis' defensive front as well. Hayes gets solid pressure on opposing quarterbacks and even happens to be better in run support. Unfortunately, he turns 31 in May, so he doesn't have many strong seasons remaining. 
 

lionsb_logo.gif Jason Jones, DE, Lions. Age: 30.


Jason Jones has never been the same since tearing his patellar tendon a couple of years ago, but he was decent in 2015. He didn't really show any weaknesses in his game, though he wasn't overly forceful. 
 

cowboysb_logo.gif Greg Hardy, DE, Cowboys. Age: 28.

 
This was a difficult one to rate. Greg Hardy is one of the most talented pass-rushers in the NFL. Based on skill alone, he'd be a 4.5-star player. However, he's an absolute scumbag and a horrible teammate. He's bad for any locker room, so any team that signs him needs to be sure that the other 52 players can handle his crap. 

This is per http://walterfootball.com/freeagents2016DE.php

 

There are also speculation about those who will be cut and those could be Cameron Wake of the Dolphins, Mario Williams of the Bills, among other players which we won't know until later when they are actually cut.

So are we giving up on Frank Alexander?  I know he's finished with his rookie deal and I haven't seen any news about an extension.

The guy showed some flashes and we know him and he knows us.  He didn't beat up any women so if the weed is the worst thing he's done, what do you think?

The best ability for a football player is availability.

He has shown over and over that you can't trust him to be available.

I'm not positive but I think his last suspension was for 1 year, meaning he can't come back until November. Also, he is coming off an achilles tear which is typically one of the more difficult injuries, from which to recover.

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
